A flock of the fashion elite turned out for the premiere screening of Federico Fellini's Satyricon, restored by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, during the 50th New York Film Festival. First released in 1969, the Italian fantasy-drama was given new life on Saturday night as it reclaimed its original brilliance. Though film restoration may seem like an unexpected step for the designers, the fashion duo counts the film, which Fellini himself described as "science-fiction from the past," and other Italian cinema among their inspirations. "We consider Satyricon a true masterpiece-Fellini's depiction of Imperial Rome in all of its decadence has served as an inspiration to us," Dolce and Gabbana, who were not able to attend, said in an exclusive statement to ELLE.com.

After the screening, there was a swank penthouse cocktail reception, where ELLE.com caught up with accessories designer Genevieve Jones. See what's coming up next for the creator, who counts Rihanna as a fan of her famed safety-pin earrings.

ELLE: What did you think of Satyricon?

Genevieve Jones: I'm a huge Fellini fan—his genius, his aesthetic. I just love his films. I've watched it before, but I've never actually sat and watched it with nothing distracting me. It was like a really long poem.

ELLE: How did it differ this time around?

GJ: The picture quality was significantly better. I realized that it's long, but it's so beautiful. And Halloween is right around the corner. I'm getting so inspired for my costume. It was just reminding me of beauty and art.

ELLE: You're wearing your safety-pin earrings tonight.

GJ: These are new! They are actually snakes. I love the safety-pin closure because I never take out my safety pins. People will say, 'I've had these for three years, I never take them out!' I'm really into snakes right now. These have diamonds.

ELLE: These are from your spring collection. What else can we expect next season?

GJ: I have these charm rings. It's a very mythical kind of collection. I did dragon wings and charms, and the serpent—the snake is very mystical and magical. That's what the new collection is about.

ELLE: What are you loving about fall?

GJ: I'm enjoying fall. I'm whatever about winter. Depends on what kind of fur coat I have. I'm like, 'Oh my god, I'm single and it's cold—I need a TV and a boyfriend!'

ELLE: And a cat.

GJ: Right. I have a dog!

ELLE: Even better! Fashion-wise, what are you looking forward to wearing?

GJ: The accessories. You get to layer cool jackets, light scarves, boots. I love easing into leather. Also, your hair is never frizzy because there is no humidity—blowouts last longer.
